Fast foods are one of the main reasons of obesity in America. Fast food is a well known food of the American culture, so citizens eat more fast foods than any other country. More and more children are becoming obese from their exposure to fast food at an early age. If schools serve fast food such as Burger King or McDonalds full of fat and sodium, then that would mean some children would have to eat fast food everyday and that would increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and becoming obese.

It is 550 calories, 260 calories from fat, and 1.5 Trans fat. Trans fat is unlike regular fat, and is usually created artificially when hydrogen gas is reacting with oil. This causes high cholesterol, obesity and offers a higher risk of heart disease. The usual diet for a teenager is about around 2000...
